With Antonio and Mario’s 40 years of combined real estate service, there’s no doubt that clients are impressed by this father-and-son real estate team. Each brings a different perspective to their role, but the two halves merge to create a cohesive unit that provides quality service.

Before being licensed in 1987, Mario owned and operated a number of high-end hairdressing salons in Manhattan, New York, where he honed his customer service skills. “I discovered the importance of listening well. I learned to relate well to people, to appreciate different cultures. A successful REALTOR® truly listens to their clients’ needs and over-delivers on what they promised.”

With a Psychology degree from Fordham University in New York and the University of Toronto, Antonio earned his real estate license in 1988, and has now 20 years of experience. Mario’s cousin, Ralph founded Nardi Real Estate Inc in 1965, and both Mario and Antonio began their real estate careers working with him. The agency renamed, National Nardi and in 1993, became Re/Max 2000 Realty Inc. Antonio and Mario, along with the brokerage, have been donors to the Children’s Miracle Network for over 15 years.

Each brings his own unique skills to their role. “Persistent and disciplined, Mario is old-school and very systematic” says Antonio. He builds strong personal relationships with clients while doing business with them. They focus on the west end of Toronto; they also handle properties in North York and Vaughan.

The team has earned numerous sales awards including: Re/Max Presidents Club, Executive Club and 100% Club, culminating in the Platinum Club in 2003-2006. In 2007 has been there best year according to Mario, and the team is in the top one percent of all REALTORS® in the GTA.
